“INJUSTICE HAS A MELANIN FACE”

The weight of ashes in a coffin when injustice call,

another melanin brother or sister unable to stand tall.

Mythic images of how a human killed a God,

And how another human life was robbed.

History will say, ” another beautiful soul is gone,”

Some will even say that Heaven is their home.

As we  fertilized our thinking to a higher place,

suddenly injustice has a melanin FACE!!

Like a ghost forest, there is silence when another is kill,

and being a Black man I can relate to how that feel.

Some will never laugh at a birthday anymore,

but to celebrate them this is what my poetry is for.

There are maps of broken promises as the KILLERS getaway!!

And as mental slave get down on their knees and pray!!

We begin to understand what really on display,

suddenly injustice has a melanin FACE!!

Hearing drums like thunder from a dead heartbeat,

feeling lonely at night wiping away injustice tears on my cheek.

This red nation is falling from the melanin innocent blood,

don’t know who to hate anymore or even who to love.

When bullets pop against a chest, a mother tears will fall,

and in America, that moment can happen to us ALL!!

Here in my Knowledge poetry, there is a sad survey,

suddenly injustice has a melanin FACE!!

Over and over again I cut the T.V and radio off,

so my thinking for my poetry will not get soft.

Realizing on the fertile ground my ancestors survive,

and that is what kept “Black America alive!!”

upon the ashes of our ancestors, we understand about death,

and through their death, we found GOD in “SELF!!”

Writing every day because there is no time for the delay!!

Suddenly injustice has a melanin FACE!!

If you are a human, you must feel the pain in this poem,

because as a fetus a mothers child was born.

Terrifying dimensions knowing your loved one won’t be back,

because he or she was “BEAUTIFUL AND BLACK!!”

some call me a revolutionary poet with a black conscious mind,

Others call me a poetry activist understanding the time.

If you don’t understand the meaning of this poem merely replay,
